Migraine-related disorders

Migraine-related disorders are neurological conditions characterized by intense, recurring headaches often accompanied by symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, and visual disturbances called auras. These episodes result from changes in brain activity, blood flow, and nerve signaling, potentially triggered by stress, certain foods, hormonal changes, or environmental factors. Migraines can significantly impact daily life, but with proper management—including medication, lifestyle adjustments, and avoiding triggers—many individuals can reduce their frequency and severity. They are distinct from regular headaches and require specific treatment approaches to improve quality of life.
